Tales on the Green Train

It's just that the plan didn't go as planned.There are a lot of entertainment at home during the Chinese New Year, either giving gifts or receiving gifts, inviting people to dinner or being invited to dinner.People come and go, visit relatives, visit business friends.Especially this year, Mama Hu is still recovering from a serious illness, and many people who are usually not free come to visit during the Chinese New Year.

We welcome and send people every day, how can we have time to talk about them?

That's all for nothing, just came to say hello, and Madam Hu was going to take Zhang Yan out to praise him. His name was loudly typed, but I felt more and more embarrassing.Especially when he thought of the hidden truth and the upcoming plan, Zhang Yan wished he could run away every second.

So Hu Bing often took him out to avoid staying at home to accept the "baptism of love".

It wasn't until the end of the year that everyone finally calmed down, and he almost went around the west area of ​​Zinan.

Zhang Yan's vacation was until the fifth day, he went back on the sixth day, and started working on the seventh day.He thought in his mind that this matter was almost over.Forget it better, "It takes more courage to seize happiness than to endure suffering", not to mention that the two of them are still together now, and they get along very well every day, without suffering at all.

It's just that it will be troublesome to deal with the family in the future. I'm afraid I have to buy a copy of "On the Reasons for One Hundred Thousand Lies" as a reference.It doesn't matter to me to hide like this, but with Hu Bing's open personality, it may be difficult.

Hey, it's too bitter...

Family, career, love, only love is not completely your own, and it is the easiest to throw away.Throwing it away is just uncomfortable for a while, and the road ahead will still be how to go, and there will still be no fetters, and what's more, maybe it will be easier.

And he has obviously become his fetter, this cognition makes him very painful.

"...It's better to forget it," Zhang Yan blurted out as he packed his clothes.

"Forget what?" Hu Bing opened the door and showed his head.

Zhang Yan waited for him to close the door before speaking: "Forget about the showdown, I don't really want to know the consequences."

Hu Bing squatted beside him, looked at his expression, and asked, "Aren't you angry?"

"It's not angry words," Zhang Yan said.

"Oh, I thought you were mad that I never found time to talk about it."

Zhang Yan shook his head, but stopped talking.

"Why forget it?" Hu Bing planned to lead him to continue.

Zhang Yan was silent for a long time before he said, "It's hard for me to agree with myself, let alone persuade others."

Hu Bing squatted on the ground and shook back and forth a few times, thoughtfully, "I really don't want to say it? Then let's keep it a secret?—I guess it won't be long. My mother asked me about my marriage. I'm afraid You thought too much, so I didn't tell you."

Zhang Yan tossed the clothes in his hands irritably, and simply sat on the ground in a daze.Hu Bing also sat on the ground, facing him in a daze.

Zhang Yan was worried, because a good boy like Hu Bing probably had never done anything deviant in his life.He seems to think from the bottom of his heart that the parents and family he agrees with will also understand and agree with him—this kind of person can only be tempered by such an enlightened family, Zhang Yan lamented that he ruined himself just like that.

Unlike myself, I put the bad first in everything, and wish I could hide away when encountering some difficulties and troubles.His thoughts are like his life, always feel that everything can start again in another place, and the past will return to the past.

Hu Bing moved over and hugged him from the side, and said slowly: "Actually, I've already given my mother away, it's just..."

It took Zhang Yan a while to understand: "Ah?!"

Hu Bing put a finger on his lips, beckoning him to lower his voice, "I just asked her, what if I can't get married and have children like ordinary people? She seemed incomprehensible, looking at my expression was like looking at someone else. people of one world."

Zhang Yan was worried, and really wanted him to shut up, so he pretended he hadn't heard anything, and everything would be the same tomorrow.But no matter how cruel the facts are, they are still facts, and he still has this cognition.I had to suffer to listen to him continue.

Hu Bing intentionally softened her voice so that her words would not be so harsh: "She didn't understand, and asked me what are you going to do if you don't get married? How can anyone not get married all their lives? I just said casually, I feel that I have a good life Yes, I am not interested in marriage. Human life is too hard, why create a child to let him continue to experience this suffering? Human beings go from birth to death, generation after generation, endlessly from ignorance to growth, Controlled by all kinds of desires, apart from turning into a human form for thousands of years, there has been no progress—”

"Is this your own idea?" Zhang Yan interrupted.

Hu Bing leaned on his shoulder and said with a smile: "No, I made up some extracurricular books when I was in philosophy class at university."

Zhang Yan didn't speak. For some reason, Hu Bing's words reminded him of the woodcarving work "Goat Song", "So we are all insignificant figures, right?"

"No," Hu Bing said with a smile, "We are not worth mentioning to the whole world, but you are everything to me."

Zhang Yan didn't tease him for being sweet, and he didn't co-operate with the joke arrogantly: "Yes, I'm just that awesome!" He suddenly murmured: "It's pleasure to feel life, and to obey the five desires. Those who have desires It is very difficult to become a saint—it seems that you are destined to be a layman in the world of mortals."

"It's okay, anyway, you and I will get out together, ordinary people will be ordinary people."

"..."

Hu Bing's eyes were flickering, and he said hesitantly: "I also told her something else... I said that I have no interest in girls since I was a child, and I never fell in love when I was adolescence, and it's nothing special to see girls until now. Feel."

Zhang Yan almost jumped up on the spot.

"Don't worry, that's all for now," Hu Bing touched his back and comforted him, "Her expression...is not pretty, so I didn't dare to go into it."

Zhang Yan knows that as long as Hu Bing reveals that he is interested in boys, Hu's mother will be the first target to lock on to him, and there will be no one else but him.As for "not very good-looking", it is probably his humble remark, it should be ugly to death.Otherwise, since Hu Bing had already dared to start this topic, why didn't he dare to continue?

This is the most crucial step. If Hu's mother had a little understanding of this aspect, she might have suspected him by now.

Zhang Yan suddenly tugged at his arm, and said aggrievedly, "Don't say any more." His voice was a little crying, a rare coquettish pleading look.

Hu Bing knew that Zhang Yan was begging him, and suddenly felt a little depressed: Every time the plan couldn't keep up with the changes, God seemed to be deliberately making fun of him.Or is there a problem with his own ability to do things?He had to admit that things involving emotions were really troublesome, and the most important thing was that emotions and judgment were affected.This is much more difficult than suffering and being abused in the workplace.

Hu Bing squeezed his hand, looked at him carefully for a while, and then said: "...Okay, then let's keep procrastinating. Well, we will leave tomorrow afternoon, go to the station and change it to a midnight ticket, and go back early."

Zhang Yan moved emotionally and threw himself into his arms. Hu Bing could truly feel his place in his heart.The two hearts are tightly stuck together, like eaves sheltering from each other under the rainstorm, and because of the fear and anxiety, they seem to be more dependent on each other.

Early the next morning, Hu Bing and Zhang Yan began to pack the suitcases and the room. After all, this room cannot be lived for a few days a year, so dust prevention measures must be taken.

Hu Bing deliberately dusted the carved wooden tiger head on the TV cabinet and put it on the bedside table. Due to neglect of maintenance, the tiger head has cracked a few small cracks, which is a bit of a pity. After all, it was given to him by Zhang Yan. first gift.

Seeing Hu Bing tidying up the bottom of the bed, Zhang Yan suddenly asked, "Is your "Double Dragon Playing Pearl" still in the Acropolis studio?"

Zhang Yan wiped the table and looked back suspiciously: "Yes."

Shuanglong Xizhu was his work as a teacher. It was because of this work that Jin Guowei accepted him as an apprentice, and it has been kept in the studio since he entered the teacher's school.

"Why do you ask this suddenly?" Zhang Yan asked.

"My tiger's head is cracked," Hu Bing said.

Zhang Yan understood what he meant, chuckled lightly and raised his eyebrows: "Then I'm afraid you will be disappointed, how can there be any reason to take back the work of apprenticeship?"

Hu Bing looked at him silently without speaking, but Zhang Yan understood what he meant: Jin Guowei's body might not last long, and when he left, he would naturally have to pack up his luggage and go his own way, and he didn't have any legacy If an enterprise needs to exhibit works, why keep so much wood?

Zhang Yan was silent for a while, not knowing what to say.Being a teacher for a day and a father for life, Jin Guowei is like his grandfather even if he is not like his father's generation.Although I knew that he had hidden dangers in his body, and I was prepared in my heart, but seeing the once alive person lying on the hospital bed weakened a little bit, I still felt uncomfortable, and there was a kind of helplessness of being forced to accept the reality. feel.

"Why do you want that piece of wood?" Zhang Yan asked, "Do you want to keep it and sell it for money? Well, it can indeed be sold for a lot of money."

Hu Bing: "..."

He said it as if he was greedy for petty gains.

Hu Bing teased: "That's right, I'm afraid that I will be poor and have no money to eat in the future. Now I'm taking advantage of the abundance to save some money."

Zhang Yan smiled slightly and ignored him.

It took a long time for Hu Bing to seriously say: "I may be a little nostalgic, so I prefer to keep some commemorative things. Once I lose them, I will feel weird."

"Oh", Zhang Yan said casually.This tone sounds as if his "serious explanation" is just an excuse for "greedy and cheap".

Hu Bing was about to knock him out loudly, but Zhang Yan suddenly opened the wooden box he was cleaning in a moment of curiosity.This box is the dowry of Hu's mother when she got married, and the design is very antique - there is a big copper ring on it, and Hu Bing has been covering it with a tablecloth as a table.

I saw someone’s books on various subjects from kindergarten to high school listed in the cabinet—including extracurricular books. I didn’t expect his bookcase to be full, and there are so many redundant things hidden here. of.

"Okay, I can tell, you are really nostalgic," Zhang Yan murmured, his eyes scanned the cabinet, and settled on a green puppet album, "Can I open it and have a look?" ?” He turned to Hu Bing and asked.

Hu Bing walked over to take out his inventory, and the two of them covered the box and sat on it looking at the photos of their childhood.

It's not so much a photo, but a dark history: Hu Bing was as fat as a pig when he was a child, and his hair was sparse when he was born, which scared Hu's father so much that he burned incense and prayed to God every day.While flipping through Hu Bing, Zhang Yan explained his glorious experience to him, and made the beauty laugh with his dark childhood history. Zhang Yan almost had a stomach problem from laughing.

The two of them hid in the bedroom for a long time before they were willing to go out.As soon as Hu Bing opened the door, he saw Hu's father and Hu's mother sitting on the sofa in the living room, and there were a circle of relatives sitting beside them, and his face immediately became a little stiff-when did these people come?

Seeing that the atmosphere was not right, Zhang Yan subconsciously almost retreated to the bedroom and slammed the door behind him.Hu Bing also felt that something was wrong, first he said hello politely, but saw that his uncles, aunts, aunts and aunts didn't pay him any attention.In the end, it was Hu's mother who calmly ordered them to have something to do at home and let them go out by themselves.

Relieved, the two hurried out the door.

As soon as the two of them went out, a woman in the room patted her thigh and said with a look of resentment: "Sister-in-law, why did you let them out?! Do you think there are not enough gossips outside?"

Mother Hu looked sad and said nothing.And the one who called him sister-in-law was still spitting at her.In the end, no one was more shocked than her, because one of these two people was her own son, and the other she regarded him as her own son.It's just that facing everyone's remarks, she was angry and ashamed, but she couldn't help but be infected by the hearty and happy laughter in the room—her mood was probably too complicated, so she didn't know what attitude to show for a while.At least he can't abuse and slander like others.

At this moment, a man stubbed out a cigarette and said, "That young man... when did they meet?"

Papa Hu frowned and sighed, and thoughtfully said: "If you say we know each other, then we knew each other ten years ago."

"Then when..." the man added, and made a gesture when he said the second half of the sentence, as if he had something difficult to say.

Hu's mother said in a deep voice: "When he was supposed to be a freshman, I remember he said that he met Zhang Yan on the way home that year, and went to dinner with him."

"Sister-in-law, why are you hesitating about this kind of thing? Don't you understand that he treats you with a purpose? If this kind of thing spreads out, people will laugh at it. Our Hu family can no longer hold our heads up!  … "

"I also agree that this matter must be ended in time, otherwise I will be ashamed to go out to meet people, and I feel disgusting when I think about it. There are many things that children don't understand. It's okay to make mistakes, but you must let him correct it. ——If you two are reluctant, I will beat you up and wake him up sooner or later."

"Bingzi has good grades since he was a child, and he is also sensible. We can't let him rot in the end—"

"That child was so thoughtful that he even plotted against his aunt. It's definitely not a fuel-efficient lamp..."

Faced with all kinds of comments, Mama Hu couldn't say a word. She was like a small boat floating in the river, being blown back and forth by gusts of wind, completely out of ideas.Her temper has improved a lot, but she has also lost a lot of decisiveness.

In the end, it was Hu's father who cut off the argument: "Let me talk to these two children first. The children have grown up and have strong self-esteem. If they talk too hard, they will blame us."

"Who spread the word outside?" A man asked.

"The family surnamed Wang on Jiangkang Road, I heard that they are Bingzi's classmates, and they said they saw the two of them at a high school reunion." Another person replied, "I don't know if they are full. It is necessary to bring this matter up, and now it is full of flames. It is estimated that I had a grudge with Bingzi before, and I heard that he is so messed up now that he deliberately retaliated."

"Let Da Chao call a few friends to beat him up first, and keep his mouth shut."

No one has any objection, such things like this to ruin people's reputation everywhere are obviously a provocation to a family.
